Round sauna bench modules
1st Prize (Shared) Wood Surface Competition by Karava
Design Jukka Jokinen & Heikki Konu
Round is a new type of sauna seating solution made of round wood bars and mounting modules. The simple structure of the bench modules enables an ergonomic seating angle and a more comfortable sauna experience. Round is light and airy in style. The shape of the round bars allows water to drain off them and the seats dry efficiently.
Round adapts to different spaces and offers an enjoyable and ergonomic sauna experience.
“The theme of our idea competition is wooden seats in saunas. We are looking for a winning bench or seat solution where the essence of wood delights or some inventive solution charms the jury. In the winning ideas, the benches are made of wooden round bars, which give the sauna a completely new look.”

DESIGN PROCESS
Sketching
The sketching is usually done by hand and is based on creative thinking and ideation. We like to consider many options and make a lot of drawings first and then narrow down the options to find the best idea concept.
3D modeling
We have excellent knowledge of the use of modeling programs and product drawings are created with the help of editable 3D models. In 3D modeling, the shapes and exact details of products, different components and materials can be precisely defined.
Image rendering
Before a product really exists, we can create rendered images by 3D modeling and rendering the product concept. This way the customer can see how the finished product would look before the first prototype is created.
